There is one way to put a stop to this stuff..

Don't buy their stuff.

The only way these corporations that are destroying America are going to

listen is when their sales revenue drops off of a cliff.

Take for instance this article I wrote about Goldman Sachs this morning.

Slowly but surely, more and more Americans are realizing that it is up to

them to reign in those that are raping and pillaging America

Subject: RE: [NF] US based Telephone Support

Hey Pete - I totally hear ya...

For my AlienWare computer - ALL support (Tech, Sales, Financial) - is ALL

located in like South America. I forget the exact location. And almost every

time I get people on the phone who sound like clueless idiots. And, owning

this Alienware Laptop has been the worst HW ownership fiasco ever! I sent it

back to them TWICE already - and they could never fix all the problems - and

claimed I should send it back again - at which point I said I wanted to get

rid of it - and can't they swap me for a Dell (since Dell owns them now).

They claimed they are not directly linked, so its not possible - and,

besides - I've had the laptop for over a year now - and there's nothing they

can do (like refunding $$$) - except for me to send it in for repairs again

(at which point they would WIPE the whole system again - without ACTUALY

fixing the heart of the problems)!

As for Virgin Mobil - I have one also - kinda my pay-as-you-go backup phone.

I tried calling them several times - and those people on the phone sounded

like MORE Idiots than the Alienware support people. Plus - they are in some

massive room with Shitloads of other people and its HORRIBLY Noisy - I could

barely hear them on the phone cause of the background noise - and I would

keep demanding they repeat what they said...

I sure HATE calling Tech support!

Oh - by the way - I think this thread should have been posted in [OT] -

since its kinda too far off topic - and only relates in regards to mentioned

Gateway. But, that just my opinion - and along with $2.50 I can get on a

subway in NYC!

:-)

Hi Everybody,

Gateway came up at the top of the search. Doesn't look like any cell phone

services are supported in the US...

I had occasion to call Gateway a while ago...

But today when my Virgin Mobil service gummed up, the phone team turned out

to be in the Philippines...
